TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have been teaching for over twenty years.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I value *active* student involvement - partner interviews, circulating asking questions on a particular topic & filling in a chart with the answers, and small group or individual art projects so student creativity can shine - with the added plus of my getting a beautiful bulletin board or hall display of student work.

Bachelor's cum laude in French & Russian, Temple University; Master's in German, Villanova University; +30 credits over the years.

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
